"2nd Marine Out!"

One of my comrades finishing climbing out of a HMMWV roll-over simulator, while the first man out pantomimes providing security with a mock rifle.

Once all four marines have loaded up and buckled in, the operators start the whole carriage turning over, rolling two or three times before the vehicle ends up on either its side or back. Then they unlock one of the doors, and everyone inside has to unbuckle and maneuver their way out.

Except for the 100+ weather on this particular day, it was actually pretty fun...like a carnival ride with kevlar helmets and body armor...
